ATTENDANCE REGULATIONS: Read the “Class Attendance” section of the Tech Bulletin that reads in part that “Class attendance is . . . an obligation . . . and all students are expected to attend regularly and PUNCTUALLY.”  Any student that has 3 unexcused absences may have their final average drop one letter grade.  Any student that has 6 or more unexcused absences may receive a final grade of F regardless of his/her average. Excuses for absences must be submitted within three class days after return to class.  Respectfully pay attention for the entire period. Be on time and stay until the class is dismissed. If you are occasionally unavoidably late, apologize. No hats on test days. Please turn off and put away cellular phones, pagers, and any other electronic devices not medically prescribed before entering the classroom.

Homework Policy:  Homework will be completed and submitted online at mymathlab.com. MyMathLab access is included in your textbook bundle. You will need the Course ID from the top of this page. Your homework grade will be no more than 10% of your grade.

Examinations: Three 100-point tests and a 150-point comprehensive final exam will be given. 

MISSED EXAMS: Make-ups will be allowed for exams only in case of an excused absence (generally a doctor’s excuse which I have called and verified or an official university excuse). If you must miss a test, tell me ahead of time so other arrangements can be made. If you are ill the day of the test, contact me BEFORE the next class meeting ready to take the test if possible. If not possible, with a doctor’s excuse, a makeup will be possible within 3 days of your return to class. Make-ups will be another exam or the comprehensive final exam as specified by me.
Grade Determination: A ten-point grading scale will be used.
90-100 %  A		70-79 %   C		Below 60 %   F
80-89 %    B		60-69 %   D

STUDENTS NEEDING SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS: Students needing testing or classroom accommodations based on a disability should discuss the need with the instructor during the first week of class. Any issues with accessing technology, which are related to a disability, should be reported to the instructor as soon as possible.

RETENTION POLICY ON GRADED MATERIALS:  In the event of a question regarding an exam grade or final grade, it will be the responsibility of the student to retain and present graded materials that have been returned for student possession during the quarter.

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM: All Louisiana Tech students are strongly encouraged to enroll and update their contact information in the Emergency Notification System. It takes just a few seconds to ensure you're able to receive important text and voice alerts in the event of a campus emergency.

ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT and HONOR CODE:  Penalties for cheating and other forms of academic misconduct can be found in the Tech catalog. Note the Honor Code Statement, "Being a student of a higher standard, I pledge to embody the principles of academic integrity." Students should be aware that "during an exam, referring to information not specifically allowed by the instructor or receiving information from another student or another unauthorized source" is a violation of the honor code and can be met with severe sanctions against the student.  For details refer to http://www.latech.edu/documents/honor-code.pdf.
